Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Factors such as age, lifestyle, diet, and medications affect our teeth and gums differently. A product that whitens one person’s teeth might not work for you. It’s important to choose whitening treatments carefully, as some over-the-counter options can even harm your gums. Consulting with a dental professional ensures you find a safe and effective solution for a brighter smile.
- Based on Your Needs: During your teeth whitening visit, we start by discussing your concerns about your teeth’s appearance and your desired outcomes. After a detailed examination of your teeth and gums, we recommend the most effective whitening procedure tailored to your expectations and oral health needs.
- Performed by Experts: Our dentists are skilled in various teeth whitening methods and products. They follow all safety protocols to ensure your protection and perform the procedure with meticulous precision.
- Dramatic Improvement: To achieve significant whitening, we use a bleaching solution with the most powerful agents on the market. This prescription-strength solution ensures your teeth are noticeably whiter.
- Immediate Results: Professional teeth whitening delivers outstanding results in as little as one hour.
- Even Whitening: Whitening strips and other over-the-counter products often result in uneven whitening since they don’t cover the whole tooth. Our dentists are skilled at whitening all the angles and contours of your teeth, ensuring a uniform result.
- Increased Comfort: To ensure a more comfortable experience, our whitening process uses laser technology to minimize the chances of gum irritation and sensitivity.
Our professional teeth-whitening offers significant advantages over off-the-shelf products:

When to Whiten?
Teeth whitening does not affect crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings, as our dentists will inform you. Therefore, it’s best to whiten your teeth before getting any new dental work like crowns, fillings, or veneers. This approach ensures that the color of your dental work will match your newly whitened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove both surface stains and deep-set discoloration from your teeth.

Why Teeth Become Stained Or Discoloured?
Surface Stains: Enamel, the outer layer of our teeth, is made up mainly of minerals and is the strongest substance in the human body. Despite its strength, enamel can still develop surface stains from foods, drinks, and other sources.
- Dark-coloured beverages like tea, coffee, wine, colas, and fruit juices.
- Dark-coloured sauces such as tomato and soy sauce.
- Sugary foods and beverages.
- Brightly coloured fruits such as berries, cherries, and pomegranates.
- Tobacco products.
- Poor nutrition and inadequate oral hygiene can also contribute to tooth discoloration.
Tooth enamel, while strong, contains tiny pores that can absorb staining substances such as:
Deep Stains: Discoloration can impact the inner part of the tooth, known as the layer just beneath the enamel, which naturally has a yellow or grey hue. As enamel naturally diminishes with age, this underlying colour becomes more visible, causing teeth to appear dull or discoloured. Additionally, factors such as medications, illness, and dental injuries can also contribute to discoloration of the inner part of the teeth.
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Achieving a brighter smile through teeth whitening is an effective method for enhancing the natural colour of your teeth, without resorting to more invasive procedures such as veneers. Whether you choose to whiten your teeth at our office or follow the instructions meticulously with our take-home kit, you can expect noticeable results without enduring lasting sensitivity.
Professional Whitening Treatment
Investing in a professional in-office treatment is often the most effective method for whitening teeth for many patients. This procedure involves applying a bleaching solution to the teeth using custom-designed trays during your appointment. The solution is then activated by a laser that gently heats it, stimulating oxygen molecules to penetrate the enamel and eliminate stains. Laser teeth whitening delivers immediate results and can potentially minimize sensitivity and gum irritation risks.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
Customized take-home whitening kits are available for patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. These kits feature application trays tailored to fit the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, ensuring consistent and thorough whitening of the enamel. Unlike store-bought alternatives, our whitening trays are moulded from precise replicas of your teeth, which helps reduce the risk of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Over a span of three to four weeks, these kits gradually lighten the enamel for noticeable results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Despite regular brushing, teeth can appear yellow due to plaque formation. Plaque develops when bacteria from food and drink particles are not properly cleaned from your teeth. Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. Inadequate or infrequent brushing can lead to the formation of this yellowish coating on or around your teeth.
Teeth whitening is generally regarded as safe, although some people may experience temporary sensitivity, particularly after their first or second treatment. This sensitivity typically reduces over time. It’s important to carefully follow the instructions provided with your take-home kit or over-the-counter products to ensure safe and effective use.
Whitening treatments typically do not alter the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth. However, whitening the surrounding natural teeth may cause these restorations to become more noticeable in contrast.
Insurance coverage for teeth whitening is generally uncommon. It’s advisable to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm whether this service is covered under your plan. We can assist by providing an estimate that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
To prolong the effects of a teeth whitening treatment, steer clear of foods and drinks known to stain teeth. Dark-coloured beverages like tea, coffee, and red wine, as well as coloured soft drinks and fruit juices, can contribute to staining. Foods such as tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and most fruits (except bananas) should also be avoided to help maintain whiter teeth.
The duration of teeth whitening results varies based on the method used and your oral care habits. Typically, whitening effects can last anywhere from 6 months to as long as 3 years, depending on maintenance routines and the type of treatment administered.
